Add methods getOrDefault and getOrThrow

[craigbeck]

Added methods for common patterns found in production code:

Data we know we should have in app:

const value = model.get('_page.user')!;
// following code expects value is defined
// will error in less obvious ways as unlikely to handle the cases of undefined

using getOrThrow

const value = model.getOrThrow('_page.user');
// following code will not be reached
// does not need to defensively handle undefined case

Data we may or may not have but want to cleaner code

const files = model.get('files') || [];

using getOrDefault

const files = model.getOrDefault('files', []);

Is there a way we can include the collection name in the error? I don't know if it's really needed, if we get the call stack, but it might be helpful.

The full path will already include the collection name - Model#_at is the child model's absolute path from the root.

Mentioning for discussion - as this is now, it won't support a 1-arg call like getOrDefault(defaultValue), though there is the workaround of doing getOrDefault('', defaultValue).

We can always add it later if needed and we don't want to add it now.

looks like the intent is as a fallback in case the subpath fails? . which would make sense then to keep the structure... I'd argue that providing blank subpath or defaultValue raise error no? They are both required?

Eric and I discussed ofline and agree the no-subpath case is unlikely, so leaving as is and see if any use comes up.
